Think there is a danger in basing too much strategy off this. For all parties. The battleground isn't the 14.3% who voted Reform in 2024. It's the 15% or so that didn't and are now telling voters they might.

You know you've spent too long thinking about research design when your first thought seeing this chart is "oooh I wonder if you could use this for a random discontinuity design...."

Request that after the local elections this week we retire the phrase "x-colour wall". No one has a wall anymore. It's just a massive pile of bricks that all parties are scrabbling for.

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Watching the post German election leaders roundtable with the 8 year old. He's suggested that once it's obvious a party hasn't got 5% they're forcibly removed from the studio.

Interesting article on the state/private school divide in men's rugby from the BBC, but would be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out on the women's team. My instinct is the women's game is far less private school dominated. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

If you want to win an election against far right opposition you need to bring together two groups. The activated liberals outraged by the other side and the more moderate groups who want govt to make their lives less difficult. Not by trying to win the enthusiastic supporters of the other side.

Or what about how the BBC found 7 Premier League clubs have had players or bosses investigated for sexual offences since 2020. Or how the Archbishop of Canterbury just resigned over a huge child abuse cover up in the Church of England. But it's definitely just a "grooming gangs" problem.

Having extracted my undergrad essays from my parents house I am slightly in awe of 21 year old me confidently asserting that "..there is no longer the perception of having to choose between being a successful wife and mother and being successful outside the home..."

Very happy with my Christmas book haul. Even more happy that children were marshalled out of the house to church so I can start reading one in peace.

My 8 year old keeps sending me this Duolingo reminder and it feels quite judgmental given the answer is usually "tidying up after him" or "making him food"

Have been remiss with my running schedule of late so this morning was my first chance to run along the new stretch of riverside path under the new stand at Craven Cottage. An excellent addition to an already excellent stretch of river.
